Please Note

Note that the neighbour planning to do construction covers all expenses. Ensure a desirable outcome by hiring our party wall surveyors in London.

Boundary Determination in England and Wales

As experts in neighbourly matters, we are able to provide extensive advice on various boundary issues. This includes analysing deed plans and Land Registry information to provide an opinion on where the paper boundary lies, establishing the responsibility for the repair of boundary features (i.e. garden walls, fences and hedges), finding the position of dividing walls, as well as various other boundary disputes that may be encountered.

Our Boundary Determination Process

As part of the process, we carry out a site survey and arrange a measured topographical survey to plot all current and historic boundary features on a plan. Following this we are able to overlay any relevant conveyance/transfer plans to establish the likely location of the boundary. It is necessary to undertake a measured survey as Ordnance Survey follow the ‘General Boundaries Rule’ and therefore all boundary features need to be precisely measured and marked on a plan. Further information is reviewed (where available) such as historic plans, aerial photography and boundary agreements to assist in reporting our opinion on the location of the boundary.

Dealt With Quickly and Efficiently

Boundary disputes can escalate if not dealt with appropriately and they can be expensive if they progress to court, so it is important to engage with a boundary expert as soon as possible.

Where required, we produce Expert Witness reports to be compliant with the Civil Procedure Rules (CPR) and act as an expert witness in court.

Apply for a Determined Boundary

To apply for a determined boundary, please provide the following:

  1. Boundary Plan: Request a chartered land surveyor to create a detailed plan showing the determined boundary.
  2. Supporting Evidence: Submit any evidence that supports your application.
  3. DB Form: Complete and include the exact line of boundary (DB) form.

Supporting Evidence

Provide any evidence that validates the surveyor’s boundary determination, which may include:

  • Certified copies of the property deeds prior to registration.
  • An expert’s report.
  • A written statement signed before a solicitor, magistrate, or commissioner of oaths.

If Your Neighbour Objects to Your Application

If your neighbour objects to your application, HM Land Registry (HMLR) will assess the validity of the objection. If the objection is deemed valid, HMLR will provide you and your neighbour with an opportunity to reach an agreement.

If an agreement cannot be reached, HMLR will forward your application to a tribunal. In such cases, you may need to pay for legal advice and surveyor consultation.

Our Reviews

Rob Kemp
We used Vicennium Surveyors LLP for our external repair project in north London, I don’t often write reviews but I can’t thank them enough for overseeing the restoration of our building. We were updated regularly throughout the project of progress and they managed to work with our limited budget, finishing with the contract sum provided
